No no no. I can see how one binary working on multi-platforms is great!
(That's one of the reasons I primarily code in Perl!) Just on the
practicality side I've had apps crashes, and on the coding side, I
didn't get into it, and couldn't see many advantages...

So, I'm still waiting for someone to tell me how wonderful Java is for
writing code. Or do I have to pass an initiation and swear oaths before
I can be part of the Java movement. ^_^
